Keep reading our famous hysterical quotes and sayings from the best authors, philosophers, and psychoanalysts on this angst emotion of our minds.
We get hysteria when the inner boiling deep frustrations find expressions outwards.
Whether work struggles or relationship issues, life can beat the blue out of a person when one is ignorant of who the mind is.
When one can’t take it anymore, one starts to get hyper, even on small issues in life.
But, let’s never forget that this precious life is given to us not to suffer and sulk unnecessarily.
Give your best shots in life, and if things and people disappoint, it is okay; live from a center of inner lightness than from a center of mental heaviness.
Living well and mental lightness is more important than all collective unfulfilled desires.
When we start looking at life with such a healthy approach, the reason to get mentally heavy reduces.
We hope our funny and equally sarcastic hysterical quotes and sayings throw more light on this topic.
